Why are dogs so effective in weapon, drug and contraband detection (as well as other illegal substances)?
Scent trained dogs can virtually “see” inside any hiding place. Experts estimate that canine detection dogs have a sense of smell that is 1,000 times more acute than ours. This makes it relatively easy for trained dogs to sniff out drugs, alcohol, firearms and explosives hidden behind metal locker doors, inside back-packs, desks, trunks of cars and other places.
